Pretty little sugar bowl and other treasures

I can't seem to post more often than once a week, I have good intentions but somehow the weeks just fly by, especially now that it's summer and I want to be out in my flower garden as much as I can.

For the White Wednesday portion of this post....

While out rummaging through antique shops I found this pretty little Fostoria sugar bowl that just called out to me. I thought it would be cute holding old mop buttons

I don't usually use blue in my home but I couldn't pass this by.

And for the rest of my post....the weekend garage sale finds...

I stopped at a lot of sales and completely struck out until the very last sale, closest to my home.

The woman was selling some of her Victorian things and this mourning parasol caught my eye immediately.

She's a little tattered, the silk lining is shredding and the lace around the edges is starting to tear a little bit but she's over 100 years old!

That lovely burgundy color lining!

It's a piece of history to me and I just had to give it a home, it was cheap too!

It opens and closes like it was brand new and the handle is in perfect condition.

She also had this old hat stand and it was just what I was looking for plus the vintage picture with curved glass. How can people throw away their relatives like this!!!
